| Reverse description | Central design featuring a small oval shield of arms, richly garnished in a distinctive style differing from other issues of the reign, dividing the Royal cypher E R (Edwardus Rex) on either side. The shield displays the quartered royal arms of England and France, characteristic of mid-Tudor heraldic convention. The garnishing around the shield is elaborate and heavily ornamented, serving as a key diagnostic feature distinguishing this issue. The reverse legend encircles the design, identifying the monarch and his titles. The overall composition is typical of hammered silver shillings of Edward VI's 2nd period, 1st issue, struck at the Tower Mint with the bow mintmark. |
